Research InterestsMy research interests centre on the use of genomics approaches to address questions in molecular ecology, such as interspecies hybridisation, population histories and admixture, demographics, and adaptation. My work involves a diverse range of study species, including bears, bison, lizards, snakes and fish, and even includes species that are now extinct, such as cave bears, sabre-toothed cats, and others. These projects have required me to develop an equally diverse range of research skills, including genome sequencing, ancient DNA methods, genome mapping and assembly, population genetic analysis, phylogenetic analysis, and, of course, fieldwork! For the future, I am open minded for new and exciting research directions, particularly as developments in DNA sequencing technology opens up new opportunities to study and unravel the process of evolution.
